Like washing still wet, not mangled by a doctor of sorts (6)
I believe the answer is:
unspun
'like washing still' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'wet not mangled by a doctor of sorts' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'not' could be 'un' (prefix meaning 'not') and 'un' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spun' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
